GREAT QUOTES ABOUT READING

“Life is too short to read books that I'm not enjoying.” ― Melissa Marr“For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.” ― Louis L'Amour"I'm going to go to my room and read for awhile, okay? I'm fine. I really am fine: I just want to go read for a while.” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars“Clearly one must read every good book at least once every ten years.” ― C.S. Lewis“A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition. Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation... A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.” ― Henry Miller, The Books in My Life“Long books, when read, are usually overpraised, because the reader wishes to convince others and himself that he has not wasted his time.” ― E.M. Forster, Aspects of the Novel“I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours.” ― Dorothy Parker“Books fall open, you fall in” ― David T.W. McCord“If you have read 6,000 books in your lifetime, or even 600, it's probably because at some level you find 'reality' a bit of a disappointment.” ― Joe Queenan, One for the Books“You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess
